He was certainly one of the great players of his generation - but one of the top 5 players of all time? That's debatable.

Nonetheless, when asked to name his all-time top 5 in a recent interview with Esporte Pono Final, Romario has included himself. Not only is he included, he's second top - behind only Pele in the rankings.

If that seems a tad cocky, just wait until you see the players he's left out. In descending order, here's his top 5...

That's a pretty solid list, at first glance. However, when you realise that Romario has left out both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, his inclusion starts to look a little suspect.
